Amanda Bynes Has First Day of School at FIDM — How Did It Go?

Today was the first day of the rest of Amanda Bynes’s life... as a fashion mogul! Looking to make a career change after her extensive rehab stay, the former Nickelodeon star has enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, and today was her first day on campus according to an E! Online report.

So how did it go? Quite well, by all accounts! “She was very nice, friendly and chatting with her classmates,” a source tells E! of the Easy A actress.

Enrolled as a part-time student for now, Amanda has selected a merchandise product development major. That’s a slight move from her original plan to focus on design. That means she’ll be focusing more on the business aspects of running a successful fashion line. Seems pretty savvy to us.

When she’s not learning how to become the next Victoria Beckham, it seems Amanda is spending a lot of time at home with her parents. That’s music to our ears. Before her inpatient treatment began, several reports indicated that Amanda was estranged from her family who were desperate to get her help.
